OBSERVATIONS OF THE BREAM 



get above a bite or two at a baiting ; then your only way is to 

 desist from your sport about two or three days ; and in the 

 mean time, on the place you late baited, and again intend to 

 bait you shall take a turf of green, but short grass, as big or 

 bigger than a round trencher ; to the top of this turf, on the 

 green side, you shall with a needle and green thread fasten 

 one by one as many little red-worms as will near cover all the 

 turf: Then take a round board or trencher, make a hole in the 

 middle thereof, and through the turf, placed on the board or 

 trencher, with a string or cord as long as is fitting, tied to a 

 pole, let it down to the bottom of the water for the fish to 

 feed upon without disturbance about two or three days ; and 

 after that you have drawn it away, you may fall to, and enjoy 

 your former recreation. B. A.
